[oi-dev] HeartBeat+Pacemaker ready to be included into OI repository

[Tao Shen]

Hi, oi-dev list:

I am writing you this email to request that the heartbeat + pacemaker package to be included into the OI repository.

Ever since Oracle closed source OpenSolaris, they took away the free Solaris Cluster as well.  Right now, the clustering package for Illumos is missing.  There are solutions like RSF-1, but if you believe in open source, you realize that you need an open source solution to the clustering problem for Illumos.

This is the work based on Mike Rowell's blog and the script is based on Patterson's work on Heartbeat 3.0.4 posted here:

http://www.scuba.org.uk/toptech/openindiana-ha-cluster-howto/ 

http://www.scuba.org.uk/toptech/openindiana-ha-cluster-new-versions/ 

http://www.scuba.org.uk/toptech/openindiana-ha-package/ 


Now there are two ways to skin this cat:  the script way or Mike Rowell's already packaged way:
1.  Mike's packaged bzip2 file: http://www.scuba.org.uk/?wpdmact=process&did=NC5ob3RsaW5r
2.  Modified script to build everything from source:  http://booki.cc/howto-setup-openindiana-ha-clusters-in-esxi/_draft/_v/2.4/static/clusterbuilder-1.1.sh

The script way shows you all the steps necessary to arrive at Mike's package.  It also includes Illumian 1.0 support, which I intend to ask Illumian mailing list to accept into the Illumian repository as well.

Whichever way the OI-dev goes, the final goal is to let users do this command and have it installed onto their OI system:  pkg install pacemaker-heartbeat

Please let Gea, Mike or I know when this package is integrated into OI repository.

Thanks,
